North Carolina Chapter Staff Directory
The staff of The Nature Conservancy North Carolina chapter can be found working all across the state. Most staff are located at the chapter office in Durham. Five regional offices (Mountains District, Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve, Roanoke River, Sandhills and Southeast Coastal Plain) also carry out the Conservancy's mission and work with local communities. 

Contact the North Carolina chapter's Director of Communications, Debbie Crane, (dcrane@tnc.org) if you have questions.
